bookbinding – the finished ‘prop’

I hesitate to call it a ‘prop’ at this point because it feels so much more like the ‘real thing’, but the object itself is complete, it’s just waiting for the text to be written inside. Two more layers of stain ‘finished’ the job, a little bit more crimson paint, but I’m fairly satisfied with the final product, it has a slightly aged look, with suggestions of things that might, or might not, be blood stains and fire damage.

Hoping to work on and maybe even execute a prototype work for this series that will give the book some “screen test” time soon, we shall see.
